lithoes is in the NWL, the official Scrabble word list for North America, but not in the Words With Friends dictionary, so it plays in Scrabble only.

The highest-scoring plays from these letters are eoliths, holiest, hostile, and lithoes, worth 10 points in Scrabble, and nothing else built from lithoes earns more points in Scrabble.
